Apple-Spice Country Ribs Crockpot Dinner

I love Fall, a little cooler air is moving in down here in Florida and it’s by far my favorite time of the year. Decorate the house in fall colors, bring out the scarecrows and pumpkins and sit and watch the leaves fall and if you are lucky, even change colors.

Fall and apples are just like pumpkins and Thanksgiving; so I wanted to make something fall like yet Ribs were on sale for the Holiday weekend; how about combine the two and let’s see what will come out.

I found a great recipe in the Quick & Easy Autumn book from Gooseberry Patch. By now you know I love their books and all the yummy recipes. Some I tweak so we won’t have to run and pick up extra items others I make just the way they are. That’s the nice thing about any of the Gooseberry Patch recipes and books; you can match them to your needs and busy schedules and still have a yummy , homemade dinner.

This is what you will need:

Wow – that sounds fabulous. I love the “fallish” twist on a meat that I really have only seen as a summer BBQ favorite. I’ll be watching ads for pork ribs. Thanks

Thanks Kathy…. I thought it was a nice fall twist, too :0)…. enjoy

Kathy Rambousek September 15, 2011 at 7:52 pm: I tried this for last night’s dinner. Pretty good, but I’d change it for the next time. I didn’t think it had a lot of flavor, so I’d plan on adding more cinnamon and allspice. Maybe we’re used to a bit more salt, but everyone added salt to the meal too. I enjoyed the all day aroma of the crockpot. I saw that today’s post was a chocolate dessert in the crockpot. I’ve never tried that; always have done the more traditional main meal. However, I’m going to use my crockpot more this season and may try something dessertish
